About Turbo Duck Studio
I’ve built businesses across aviation, e-commerce, tech, and B2B.
Every one of them taught me what it actually costs to keep a business alive: payroll, pipeline, delivery pressure, and the quiet weight of promises made to clients before the next deal is certain.
When it is your name on the invoice, you do not get to shrug and blame the algorithm.
01 · The Gap
At every stage, I hired people to help with marketing. Account managers who could not explain what the numbers meant. Freelancers who disappeared when things became difficult. Agencies sending reports full of activity but light on commercial meaning.
The same gap kept appearing. They would talk about traffic. I would ask about leads. They would talk about impressions. I would ask what changed in the pipeline.
We were speaking different languages because many of them had never had to make the numbers work from the owner’s seat.
That is the gap Turbo Duck Studio was built to close.
02 · The System
I didn't set out to become a marketer — I learned because my businesses depended on it. Over time it became the work I enjoy most: reading the market, getting into the data and the technical detail, and building acquisition systems that make commercial sense.
By 2014, I was running campaigns, building landing pages, setting up tracking, and managing ad spend across my own businesses.
What started as survival became the thing I was best at. Not just ads. Not just web pages. The system.
The work became
Choose the right service line. Put the right message in front of the right person. Create a focused path to enquiry. See which enquiries were actually worth something.
The result
The goal is not more noise, more disconnected reports, or more activity for its own sake. The goal is better marketing leads and more commercially meaningful conversations.
03 · Why Turbo Duck Studio Exists
They need someone who can see the full chain: the searches buyers make, the ads they click, the web pages they land on, the reports they are shown, the quality of the marketing leads that arrive, and the feedback from the sales conversations that follow.
When those pieces are split across different suppliers and account managers, the founder becomes the integration layer.
That is Coordination Risk.
Turbo Duck Studio exists to reduce that risk. We help high-touch service firms find where their lead generation is leaking, improve the quality of their marketing leads, and create more commercially meaningful conversations.
04 · How The Work Is Led
You should not have to explain your business to one person, have them translate it to another person, and then hope the person doing the work understood the point.
At Turbo Duck Studio, the work is led by the person responsible for the strategy and the system.
No hiding behind reports.
No activity for activity’s sake.
No account-manager theatre.
05 · Start Here
I built Turbo Duck Studio for the person I used to be.
The one carrying the promises. The one trying to work out why the reports looked fine but the leads still felt wrong.
The one tired of being told about traffic when the business needed better conversations.
If that sounds familiar, start with a Lead Acquisition Diagnostic.
